He threatened to launch a public struggle if he was disqualified, The Nation reported.

To a question about his resent meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari, he said: Both the PPP and the PML-N have struggled and paid a lot for democracy in the country and I have asked him (Zardari) to brush off misunderstandings and follow the Charter of Democracy (CoD) to bring the country on track.

Commenting on 17th Amendment and Presidential powers, Shahbaz said that President Zardari had pledged on these two issues but things had not yet been done as promised. (ANI)
